[quote=Anonymous]Former first grade teacher. No, most kids do not read when they enter K, although there will always be some who do. Many kids do not read when they enter first grade, and that is considered developmentally appropriate provided they have letter recognition. In most states, first grade is the year when kids are expected to learn to read, and we did flag kids in the spring of first if they were not making progress on that front to be sure there was nothing else involved. However, I also had kids who left first still not reading, and something just clicked in second grade--by third they were reading as fluently as many of the early readers. Late reading is not necessarily indicative of a problem--and not reading in K is not late reading.[/quote]
